Just buy out the rest of Mexico. Or give Mexico its territory back.
But seriously if you end the war on drugs and invest in making Mexico a desirable place to live so that people dont want to leave it in the first place, that will probably be a lot cheaper than some shitty looking wall
Hey better yet, you wouldn't need a wall at all, if you just told ppl south of us the truth about the American dream.
Hey ppl of Mexico, this is how things really are.
I got out of college, I wasn't the hardest working but I wrote the papers, and worked to memorize lines in drama class. I was hoping it gave me some chance at a job.
I misunderstood the term "some college" (thinking it meant some college as in not a famous college "just some college somewhere" rather than "I took some college then I dropped out" so even though I listed my college, they figured I dropped out), so I routinely flubbed job applications because college teaches things but not common sense or how to fill out forms.But
Finally, I got jobs only to find there was a hiring boom among immigrants, and no amount of earnestness was doing anything but making me poor and tired from driving around. The jobs I got didn't pay all that much, which I suppose is still better than many people who get to be "interns" surviving on ramen for years while the economy, depleted from helping migrants, tells them after working effectively as a slave that they are just not good enough. These are the native workers of the US. When I applied for a job, after running around alot in the car, the guy rejected me, telling me that American workers are lazy.
After wasting money at college which clearly mostly taught obscure facts of history (the janitor guy I worked under was pretty impressed), I worked as a janitor for a decent amount of hours, but it was erratic, and I just wanted to stop. I wasn't making much, and the hours we so irregular that I was constantly tired. Worked as a garden helper for about 2 hours a day, for maybe 3 times a week. Took on a job loading and delivering vegetables for a farmer to deliver to the city, it was one day loading (about 8 hours), then a tiring (14 hour) day the next day. The guy didn't respect that I had work outside the job, and I wound up straining multiple jobs, because he wanted to add hours to my week. He was the sort of white knight who gave me about double the load of the gal who rode with us. Then she got a day off, but he wanted to cut into my schedule, a schedule we'd agreed on when I started working. She's a great help to you? Or are you trying to make time with her? So as a result, he cuts the fourteen hour shift from my week, after successfully having sabotaged the Thursday Friday shift. Like many jobs, I didn't leave for a better job, I left it for nothing.
This is what you have to look forward to. Working multiple jobs, because none of them really make ends meet, only you can't work multiple jobs being they compete in hours.
Or Walmart where you get okay hours (compared to 14 hour exhaustion and then screwing with existing hours because the boss doesn't respect you), but the pay is terrible, and they do games with your paycheck, always spacing work days so you get just under decent wages. Oh yeah, and they actually penalize for working overtime. Do after they get you to do some last minute job, you have to go and adjust your shift the next day, because overtime work penalizes you and too many penalties and you are punished.
Assuming you get a good job (the reason for these games is that the mandated minimum wage and benefits aren't what smaller businesses can afford, so they pay you by spacing your income, and using excuses not to pay fulltime), you then have to contend with the government wanting to mandate that you have insurance (when insurance costs a different pay scale for blacks and whites, so even though I am poor and barely making two part-time paychecks a month, you expect me able to afford $400 insurance), or telling you that you have to mask up and be vaccinated to work in alot of companies. At around this time, I was working for little old ladies teaching them to use a computer, and couldn't advertise anymore, because mandates banned me from entering shops to put up flyers or meet ppl in person. The people I was working for, one fell through and the other moved away. I am now in early retirement. At 40. I have no desire to work again, at least until they do away with these standards and hire ppl based on things like availability and ability to do the job.
Mexican workers, this is what you might have to deal with in the US. Under-the-table work, spotty work hours, that is if they even pay you legal wages. Because the truth is taxes are too high to support minimum wage, and the system never accounted for weekly average anyway. And that coupled with medical bureaucracy means you might get here and find no opportunities.
Sure, we don't need a wall, because there is nothing for migrants anymore. But we do need a wall to prevent fentanyl, opioids, and other drug smuggling. We need it to prevent actual criminals from entering and shooting up schools and businesses, and we need one because our facilities (medical, commercial, etc) are overburdened by too many customers, and there are too few opportunities for income.
And typical. You don't even understand that the war on drugs is an American attempt to curb drug importation, and that America is not jurisdictionally able to do anything against drug overlords in Mexico or Guatemala.
If we ended the drug war, by making a proper wall against drug trade in America, it would still do nothing for Mexico, et al. The same is true if we gave that land back to Mexico. Without the US to trade drugs with, Mexico et al would find that any economy they did get from drugs is now gone. They are basketcases. Countries that make money from us because nearly all of their own money is in the hands of cartels.
1. Either admit Mexico is a terrible place to live, and that the US can do nothing about their smuggling, drug trade, and human trafficking except at the US end. Which liberals object to, because they actually approve of drugs, crime, and slavery.
2. Tell people that Mexico is a wonderful place to live. In which case, the narrative that they need to come and US has to help them is gone.
You can't have it both ways. Either admit that ppl from Mexico are thugs and scoundrels. Or tell us all how wonderful Mexico is, in which case immigration has to stop.
